Zicam Cold Remedy Really Shortens Your Cold

It is 3:00 a.m., and you groggily wake up, realizing that your throat aches, your head feels stuffy, and you have some nasal discharge-the all-to-familiar symptoms of an on-coming cold. What's worse, you have an important business proposal to present in the morning, and there is no way you can miss work. What do you do now? Either head to your medicine cabinet or your 24-hour drugstore for some Zicam Cold Remedy nasal swabs or spray. In my experience Zicam is one of the few natural/homeopathic remedies that really works to help a cold.

What is Zicam? It is zinc based cold remedy that has been proven in scientific studies to block the cold at its source. Apparently, the cold virus breeds in your nose, so using the zinc swabs or spray stops the cold virus in its tracks. In studies, people who used these products got over their colds 3X faster than those who did not. Also their symptoms were less severe. But, studies aside, I have been using this product for two years now, and it always helps my cold. Sometimes if I use it soon enough (as soon as I feel a cold coming on), I don't even get the cold. Other times, my cold is over in 1-3 days; my colds used to last at least a week. With Zicam, even if you come down with the cold, there is usually only one bad day at the most.

Zicam Cold Remedy comes in both the nasal swabs/spray and oral mist/lozenges. I personally only recommend the nasal swabs or spray, as I cannot tolerate the taste of the lozenges or oral mist, and they do not even seem to work as well as the nasal products. Zicam also offers cough, flu, congestion, allergy, and sinus products; however I have only tried the cold remedy so far. They also offer the nasal swabs in a smaller size for little children, and I have tested these on my son. He does not really like using the nasal swabs, but they work every time.
